I have been following this thread with great interest.....this past week I 
learned how to get LAMP server running with MediaWIKI on my computer.  This 
morning I learned how to connect OpenOffice 2.2 Base via JDBC to a new 
database I created in MySQL.

Things are just rolling right along for me.  One day it'll all come crashing 
down--feel it in my bones.  I can't help but think of the brain power that 
went into the thousands/millions of lines of code that made this possible and 
be just a little awed.....
